Ideas for Anti-Paranoia Firefox Extension

Project site - This here is the ideas section. You can edit here.

• Request: Add a configure panel so I can change & edit the messages.
• I don’t know how to do this. I’d have to learn it. You can do it! But if I leave it in this stage, maybe some people will become ambitious to learn Firefox hacking. — Johannes Buchner 2006/02/08 14:19
• Edit the Code of Anti-Paranoia Firefox Extension! All you need is a zip Application and a text file editor (zip+vi or WinZip+notepad)
• If you want, you can add texts here, and I’ll add them to the next release.
• Why you don’t add “42” by default, switching randomly between “42” and “Don’t panic!”?

• Request: Accumulate a daily feed from a website for a large db of random wit and/or Inspiration.
• Any volunteers? — Johannes Buchner 2006/03/02 14:34

• Maybe a spoken antiparanoia ??!!??

• I didn’t want to make this extension annoying. But of course you want to see something, if you install it.
• You can find configurable stuff at about:config:
  • antiparanoia.minimaltime: The time to wait before popping up the next time.
  • antiparanoia.randommax: The maximal random time to add to the time above.

• Do you want a pro-paranoia extension?

• I want a “Shut up!” button!
  • A thread that recalls itself is started when clicking on “I’m afraid”. It recalls itself ‘til infinity (or until the browser is closed).
  • I couldn’t find a elegant way to stop window.setTimeout()-Threads. Maybe a global var?
  • Maybe Alt-F4?
  • Maybe you could make the ‘I’m afraid’ to a enable/disable function...when it’s checked, the messages appear, when it’s unchecked, they don’t (since you aren’t afraid, or you’d say so)?
  • Leave your idea here.
